*Sigh* back to Steroids again.....

Back on Entecort for the next month at least. GI doc took me off my Imuran too see if it was causing more problems than helping and within the next month I was back to 6 liquid stools a day and more pain than before. So now back on my Imuran (thank god) and steroids to smooth it out till the Imuran is built back up enough in my system.

Oh the joys of Doctors whims.....


P.S. Still waiting on decision from disability hearing....hope its favorable so I can pay some bills

My hearing went well in my honest opinion. The hearing was done via video conferencing and the judge I got was laid back. The hearing was about 45 minutes of him and my lawyer asking me questions so he could get an idea of how the Crohn's affected me, then another 15minutes of him and my lawyer posing hypothetical scenarios to a vocational expert to determine how my limitations would affect my ability to obtain a job and hold the job based on the department of labors regulations. The judge did not make me feel bad and even laughed a few times during the hearing. My lawyer says she doesn't see them denying me again so I'm hopeful. Good luck with your hearing and I hope this post helped. =)

I have altered my diet a few times and have been to see a nutritionist twice, but its so unpredictable weather it will work or not. Sometimes a food won't give me any problems but then the next time I try to eat it assuming it to be a safe food it hits me like a truck. I've even had problems with simple foods such as baked chicken, baked fish, pasta, mashed potatoes, etc...
Its just a matter of chance most of the time.

Perhaps trying out some of the diets many forum users find helpful. I was able to get off prednisone by starting the SCD diet, and others with the Paleo diet. Both diets are strict, canceling out grains, starch, yeast, sugar and dairy (for Paleo), as well as anything processed and artificial. I've personally found it to be a great help, and it may be worth giving a shot. If you can start out by going gluten free for a month or so, that's a great start. :)
